i always feel incredibly disappointed when i click on someone's xanga and it's been shut down. sigh.
anyways, i just spent a considerable amount of time reading old entries of the few xangas i subscribe to that haven't been shut down. it felt kind of intrusive but whatever. it's nice to see how far people have come and sometimes it's sad to read an entry or a comment from someone three years ago and see how much they've changed now.
it makes me especially sad when i read entries about spending amazing days with a person i know the writer is no longer friends with.
it's kind of funny, i was reading two entries, by two people who don't even know each other, that both lamented how they were boring people who never do anything exciting with their lives and all i wanted to do was build a time machine and go back and leave a comment telling them they were both some of the most unbelievably interesting people i've ever met. hm. good luck trying to read through that super long sentence. well, i've always been unnecessarily wordy so there you have it.
this post was pointless and devoid of any interesting insight but it also made me very happy.
i should come on xanga more, it always makes me happy and wistful and sad and i love that.
p.s. random fact--i just wiki'd "23" to figure out which album it was from because i haven't bought a CD in like six years and when i was clicking around, i learned that liz phair provided backing vocals on "work". i never even realized there were any significant backing vocals but then i went to listen to it and now her voice is so obvious to me that i feel silly for not hearing it before. at least i think it's her voice that i hear so clearly. watch it be some random, unfamous backup singer instead haha.
